Fixed point theorems and applications in p-vector spaces

Abstract

Abstract The goal of this paper is to develop new fixed points for quasi upper semicontinuous set-valued mappings and compact continuous (single-valued) mappings, and related applications for useful tools in nonlinear analysis by applying the best approximation approach for classes of semiclosed 1-set contractive set-valued mappings in locally p-convex and p-vector spaces for p ∈ ( 0 , 1 ] $p \in (0, 1]$ . In particular, we first develop general fixed point theorems for quasi upper semicontinuous set-valued and single-valued condensing mappings, which provide answers to the Schauder conjecture in the affirmative way under the setting of locally p-convex spaces and topological vector spaces for p ∈ ( 0 , 1 ] $p \in (0, 1]$ ; then the best approximation results for quasi upper semicontinuous and 1-set contractive set-valued mappings are established, which are used as tools to establish some new fixed points for nonself quasi upper semicontinuous set-valued mappings with either inward or outward set conditions under various boundary situations. The results established in this paper unify or improve corresponding results in the existing literature for nonlinear analysis, and they would be regarded as the continuation of the related work by Yuan (Fixed Point Theory Algorithms Sci. Eng. 2022:20, 2022)–(Fixed Point Theory Algorithms Sci. Eng. 2022:26, 2022) recently.
